Despite curbs, strike JIO office sees massive rush in Srinagar

Srinagar, September 10: The citizens of Srinagar made a beeline outside the Reliance JIO office in Srinagar hoping to get a device or a 4G sim card to experience the fast speeds that have become talk of the town everywhere in the Valley.

The valley, which has been reeling under severe unrest for 64 days now, has for a larger period remained disconnected due to curbs put in to control the situation that went out of hand. The mobile phone connections barring BSNL post-paid services had not been working for a long period and internet services remained disconnected too. The curbs on communication were removed recently and the corresponding results can be seen in the pictures.
